Rennes vs Lyon Prediction and Match Preview

Rennes vs Lyon Match Preview

Rennes had an average Ligue 1 season last time. They have managed to bag 46 points and claimed the 10^th spot at the end of the season. The inconsistent form they had throughout affected their chances to seal a safe zone position.

Meanwhile, Lyon had a decent campaign last time. The team bagged 53 points and ended up at 7^th in the standings. However, they were winless in most of the friendlies they played post 2023/24 season.

Moving on, Rennes was unbeaten in four of the last six clashes against Lyon. Their latest meeting ended in 2-3 win for Rennes and it was the fifth high-scoring and both teams involving match in the last six head-to-head between the two. Also, Rennes won two of the last three clashes against Lyon at this stadium.

Rennes vs Lyon Prediction

Rennes is having an impressive form at home of late. They are on a six-match unbeaten streak at home. Do also note that they won four of those six unbeaten games and have allowed goals in seven of the past 10 home outings.

Meanwhile, Lyon has a disappointing form on the road as they lost two of the last three outings on the road. Since Rennes has an upper hand in the recent tradition and all the above mentioned stats, we expect a win for them on Sunday against this Lyon side.

Additionally, four of the last eight home matches of Rennes and six of the last eight away matches of Lyon had goals over 2.5 ft. Since their recent h2h clashes had goals over 2.5 ft, we expect this match to see pleanty of goals.

Also, Lyon scored 8 goals in their last five road trips and it is worth noting that they lost two in that period. Since Montpellier has allowed goals in their last latest home outings, we like to suggest the over 2.5 goals and both teams to score option.
